226: Chapter 226 The Development of the Circum-Pacific Dimension
[Boss, the Petrification Virus samples are ready and are being sent to the Pacific Rim world.]
"Good,"
Hearing Little Black's words, Lin Fang got up and headed to Titan. Because the transit station for the Movie Dimensions was located there, Lin Fang had already opened two Wormholes leading to other dimensions: the Pacific Ocean Dimension and the Pokemon Dimension.
As for why he hadn't opened a Wormhole to the Resident Evil Dimension...
Lin Fang was a bit worried that Isaac would come running over screaming.
If he could help solve this Petrification Virus, opening a Wormhole in the Hive Base wouldn't be out of the question.
But not one leading to the real world.

After entering Titan, Lin Fang first saw groups of players. There were dogs and people with human bodies; they were likely all qualified veteran players. Most were driving mining vehicles to collect resources to earn star coins to buy weapons, eliminate monsters, and build their homes.
This game's rating had consistently stayed at 9.9, which showed just how fun it really was.
These players, who accessed through the "journey" game, still thought this was just an exceptionally realistic virtual world, unaware that they were actually working for Third-Party Technology...
From their perspective, they couldn't see the landlord who was enslaving them walking right past them.
"Boss,"
Arriving at the transit station, several Clones guarding the place saluted Lin Fang. From the outside, the transit station looked like a massive circular fortress, about the height of a Category 5 Kaiju.
This was one of the company's most classified locations; no one was allowed near without Lin Fang's permission.
There wasn't much inside, just two Wormholes.
Immediately, Lin Fang stepped into the Wormhole leading to the Pacific Rim Dimension. This Wormhole's exit was set in a surface warehouse belonging to a power called... Third-Party Technology.
Shortly after acquiring the Kaminax Tribe, Lin Fang had also opened a branch office in this dimension. Its primary business was Jaeger technology and new material development.
The activity alerted the person in charge here. She immediately checked the surveillance footage, and upon seeing the figure appearing on screen, she covered her mouth in excitement and hurried downstairs.
In Lin Fang's vision, a tall, red-haired woman appeared. She wore a sharply tailored professional suit, and her every move exuded maturity and efficiency.
Isabella Ross said excitedly, "Boss, it's a pleasure to see you again."
She was the head of Third-Party Technology Company in this world, a professional manager Lin Fang had casually recruited here back then.
Come to think of it, that was six months ago.
Lin Fang asked casually, "How is the company's development?"
Turning to business, Isabella immediately entered her professional mode. "Boss, our operations are proceeding very smoothly. We now have the capability to independently manufacture Mark-5 Jaegers. In last week's Jaeger competition, the 'Triceratops' Mark-5 Jaeger, developed entirely by Third-Party Technology, won first place by a significant margin."
Now that the crisis was over,
the nations of the Pacific Rim world began investing resources into reconstruction. The role of Jaegers gradually shifted from pure weapons of war to disaster relief, heavy engineering, and even entertainment...
Hearing this, Lin Fang asked with interest,
"Did they not go easy on you?"
"Per... perhaps they did," Isabella replied with a start, sounding a bit uncertain. It made sense; after all, they all knew who was behind Third-Party Technology. Who would want to offend a terrifying savior?
This was also one of the reasons the company developed so smoothly.
"Well done," Lin Fang gave his approval nonetheless.
Hearing this, Isabella secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "Boss, the company has changed a lot. Would you like me to give you a tour?"
"Sure," Lin Fang nodded. After all, he had to stay here for twelve hours; a walk around would be a good way to pass the time.
[Successfully descended into the Pacific Rim Dimension]
[Current Dimension Weight: 100%]
[Spacetime Package Status: Idle]
[Remaining plunder points: 1576]
[Evacuation Countdown: 11:59:59]
Isabella wondered if her eyes were playing tricks on her; she thought she saw the young man in front of her suddenly vanish for a moment.
It seemed he could also travel while within a Movie Dimension, Lin Fang thought to himself. As for why he took this extra step, it was so he could utilize Black Star's containment ability.
The Wormhole behind him opened again, and two Clone soldiers stepped out, one of them holding a silver sealed case.
Inside was a sample of the Medusa Virus, which Lin Fang stored in his Spacetime Package.
Then, Isabella began leading Lin Fang on a tour of the company, and the employees of Third-Party Technology in this dimension suddenly faced what they considered the most terrifying thing.
A boss's inspection.
Especially without any prior notice, the atmosphere of the entire company instantly became tense.
Seeing the young man beside Isabella, everyone held their breath, only daring to whisper after they had passed.
"Is that our Boss, the savior of the world? His presence is so powerful. Did you see our manager's sycophantic look? It's hilarious."
"What I'm wondering is, why isn't Lord Venom here?"
"Stop talking, the manager is coming back..."
Twelve hours later, Lin Fang didn't linger and went straight to the Resident Evil Dimension.
Watching the young man vanish before their eyes, the high-level executives of Third-Party Technology felt as if they had survived a great tribulation; their expressions became much more natural and relaxed.
"Alright, everyone back to work."
Isabella said sternly, "I hope to see the company make even more progress before the Boss visits next time."

[Welcome, Commander]
After Lin Fang arrived at the Hive Base, the artificial intelligence Red Queen, who managed the base, immediately detected his arrival.
[Mr. Isaac is currently in the B7 Laboratory. Shall I inform him of your arrival?]
"Wait a moment," Lin Fang said. "Take me to your mainframe room first. I have something to give you."
The Red Queen's computer room was at the very bottom of the Hive Base. Under guidance, Lin Fang reached the core control room without obstruction.
In the computer room, two holographic projectors at the top turned on, flashing red light. After a moment, the projected image of a girl about nine years old appeared before Lin Fang.
This was the Red Queen.
[Commander, I am looking forward to seeing what gift you have for me.]
"Open your motherboard. I will implant an intelligent program into the base; it will optimize you. Do not resist."
[O... Okay.]
The Red Queen's voice was a bit hesitant, but she still obeyed Lin Fang's command. A massive motherboard rose from the floor.
A hard drive suddenly appeared in Lin Fang's hand. It contained another clone of Little Black—let's call it Number Three for now.
After Lin Fang plugged the hard drive into the Red Queen's motherboard, she let out a cry of surprise, and the little girl's image flickered.
[Commander, it is much more powerful than I am. I'm a little scared.]
"Don't worry, it's fine."
